Sign him up!

OK, from Mike Chernoff's son to the most casual of Indians' fans I think we are all in agreement:

Sign Francisco Lindor to a long-term extension.

Here is how it should go:

10 years - $201 million

2017 - $5 million signing bonus
2018 - $10 million
2019 - $12.5 million
2020 - $15 million
2021 - $17.5 million
2022 - $20 million
2023 - $20 million
2024 - $25 million
2025 - $25 million
2026 - $25 million
2027 - $25 million
2018 - Mutual $25 million option, $1 million buyout

I have never advocated for long-term contracts but this kid needs to stay as an Indian.  If he stays healthy and motivated, he could have a statue next to Feller's some day. 

Get it done Indians.   Get it done Lindor/Lindor's agent.
